Manyolcars, we have some similarities in our cars!:) I got my wheel cylinders from Napa, and haven't had any problem---maybe just lucky-----. Bob
Here's mine.
Check your point dwell. Too wide a gap can give you fits.
Being an aftermarket carb, it fit most years of Model T. It will fit 1919 to 1927 for sure. They are tricky to tune, but when set, they work...
Shoebox Ford should have one.
In Vancouver, WA, the Main Street Dairy Queen! They don't have the franchise receipe, they have their own burger that is tried and true, for 50...
I acquired a flathead many years ago that had no oil pressure when I started it up----turned out that it didn't have a gear on the back end of the...
Check to see if the top of the power valve is rubbing on the side of the float bowl. The new valves are real close to the side of the float bowl,...
Looks like a Model A to me. Bob
You might check the lead in the distributor going to the points. The vacuum could cause it to lose connectivity when the plate rotates.
When I built a 401 with an aluminum flywheel, the flywheel took a bunch of added weight to get the assembly into balance. It has to match the...
Check out your local community college for welding courses. Without welding experience, you will not know if the pass you just made is a good...
They're right!! It is a '26-'27 T roadster with the turtle deck removed, and the boat tail added. There is a lot of $$$$$$ value there! Bob
There are two ways to remove the play in the steering gear. The first is the screw with the locknut on the top of the box. Turn the wheels to...
Very well said.
Listen to Flat Ernie. Ernie might be a little stingy on the powervalves, tho. I run straight linkage, 48 jets, 6.5 powervalves, and I have done...

The powervalves on a '94 are designed to open at a certain level of vacuum. There are different sizes for the amount of vacuum that you are...
The rubber seal will usually stay put if it is put in dry----no sealant, no nothin'.
The dual point mallorys are hard on the currently manufactured condensers. The condenser goes bad, and then the points burn. Get the best...
Slamcouver, I have an original (not reprint) Model A owner's manual that might be very helpful in your adventure. PM me. Bob
The small one is the reverse lockout switch. You don't need it. The governors are fairly easy to find. They usually don't go bad.
The pointier the lobes are, the stocker it is. If they are flat on top, you got a hot one!
The area at the top of the walls, about 18" to 2ft. down from the ceiling is wasted space. I made a shelf about a foot wide all around the...
The honeycomb radiators didn't work out well. If they plug, there is no way to rod them out.
The 94s work very well when they are set up correctly. Set them up as if they would be run as a single carb, then pair them up and check for...
You might be able to get a rosebud tip for the cutting torch. They are available for some torches. It would be a good investment-------. Bob
Here's a pic-----.
I don't know how common knowledge this is, but I found that, on the 94s, although the bases look the same as the earlier carbs, they are not the...
The 292 is inherently a gas hog. The 250 will run circles around it, mileage wise. It is a real stump-puller, but it loves gasoline.
Separate names with a comma.
